Narrative:

Medium large transport lost right hydraulic system. Declared emergency. Performed prescribed procedures. Stopped aircraft on runway. People movers removed passenger. Maintenance towed aircraft to parking (maintenance found line that was leaking). As emergencys go, this one went by the book and was 'normal.' there was an FAA controller on the jumpseat who provided a good suggestion from ATC point of view -- we informed the center to pass along the message to approach that we were expecting an emergency.
